1T may be that there is a short crop
of coffee, but the principal cause of the
extraordinary advance is ombination
OF spectators. In connection with this
will surely come the adulteration of the
article, and it will be found difficult to
secure it in its purity. The true policy,
in this condition Of affairs, is to quit
using it. If the people Of the United
States, who are much larger consumers
per capita than those of any European
country, would reduce their purchases
one-half, the spectators would soon
squeal. 1t is not certain that coffee Is a
wholesome drink anyway. 1t is stimr
ulent that effects the nervous system
seriously, and TO many constitutions IS
absolutely damaging. 1t is undoubtedly
true many people would feel better if
they did not use it at all. 1t would be
no hardship. therefore, to reduce the
consumption one-half. That would set
tie the spectators. The late advance
based upon current consumption is equal
to one dollar per capita on the popula>
tion of this country. Thus it becomes a
costly luxury. 1t is not a necessity.
Spectators have had their opportunity.
Now consumers have q chsnce.-Cin.

A PHYSICIAN who has made special
ty of badness says: The habit OF
wearing warm coverings on the head is
not of recent date: the armies of Europe
for instance, no inc0nsiderable number
of men, with heads close and heavier
headgear than the modern dwellers in
cities, without the same tendency to
badness. Nor are the heavy fur cover>
ings of northern races Incompatible
with luxuriant hair. 1t is also difficult
to understand what injury can result
from close cutting, per Sc. The growth
is in the hair follicle, and in it alone
there is no vital connection between the
hair outside the scalp and within; it is
usually cut closet at the back of the
head and neck, where badness never
occurs. Would not close cutting rather
stimulate the growth by exposure of the
scalp? Such, at least, is the popular
belief. 1 believe the common form of
badness is due entirely to the kind of
hat that is EOrn, principally to the high
hat and the hard felt hat, but also to
any other head covering that constructs
the blood vessels which nourish the hair
bulbs"

Preparing TO Strike.

Washington dispatches declare that
Secretary Fairchild Is very decided in
his advocacy of reduction of revenue
from customs; that he is engaged in
preparing some measure upon the sub
ject to submit to Congress; and that his
plan of reduction will be to place raw
materials like iron ore and wool upon
the free list. and reduce rates on certain
manufactures of iron and steel. 1t is
expected that some legislation will be
effected in Congress In regard to the ret
duction of revenue. by decreasing or
abolishing the tobacco tax. and reducing
the tariff upon articles not manufactur-
ed in the United States. 1t is agreed
that no good can be accomplished by
boarding up money in the treasury that
can only be expended by special acts Of
Congress, and that tariff and taxation on
certain articles can wisely be reduced.
While nearly all agree to these propo-
sitions it Is a remarkable fact that Secre-
sary Fairchild should have selected for
tariff reduction those very articles, iron
and steel, and placed upon his free list
iron ore and wool, which enter so large+
ly into the producing interests of the
entire country, and the tariff protection
to which lie regarded by the entire Re-
publican party as so necessary to secure
reasonable wages to American labor
1t is well known that with the present
tariff upon iron and steel rails, English
goods are now injuriously competing
with our homemade articles. Put iron
ore upon the free list and the miner in
America must work for the same wages
as the Canadian or foreigner or American
iron ores cannot compete at some points
with those imported from abroad. Take
off the tariff from wool and one Of the
most important and vital industries of
the farming population OF this country
will be utterly destroyed. Secretary
Fairchild has evidently seized upon the
very articles for reduction whose pro-
lection is so urgently required by pri-
vate and national interests. There are
many articles upon which the tariff can
be reduced without interfering with
American industry. If the object is to
reduce the surplus in the treasury and
taxation, that may be done without con-
fiicting with any American interests.
But it is clear that plan Of ''compro-
mise" is on foot, an administration
measure for Congressional action, that
Is preparing to strike deadly blow at
American industry and American labor.

The State Treasury and Democratic
EXtrayagance.

The Democratic papers throughout
the country are having sent to them a
lot of. sensational stuff about the bank
ruptcy of the Ohio State Treasury.
These papers are very careful not to
enter into details for fear it will hurt
the Democratic party. The truth is
that the State Treasury has never re-
covered from the unprecedented extrav-
sgance of the Hoadly administration.
When the Republicans turned over to
the Democracy the State was free from
any floating debt. and there was over
S1,5OO,00O in the Treasury. But what
change bad taken place by the time
Gov. Foraker assumed the position of
Governorl The State Treasury was bare,
aud the vouchers of the State were be-
ing hawked about the street and sold at
a discount, for the Sixty-sixth General
Assembly had appropriated over $780,

taxes to cover up part of their bad

state treasury has been in a chronic
state of bankruptcy about June, and the
Auditor of State has been compelled to
anticipate the payment of the June tax
es by securing accommodations from
some of the county treasurers. In this
way 1t has been customary to secure
from five to six hundred thousand dol
lars, but this year the advance necessa+
ry will not exceed one quarter of mil
lion of dollars or less than half of the
sum demanded the last year Of Governor
Hoadly's term of cfice. However, the
State treasury is not bankrupt &C this
time nor will 1t be, and the people of
Ohio can rely on 1t that they will not
be disgraced by having the the warrants
of the State sold at discount on the
streets. When Governor Hosdly enter>
ed he informed his successor. Gov. Fora
ker, that the State Treasury was In
bad condition and demanded especial at
tenti0n, and this state of affairs is the
natural outgrowth of Democratic tinan-
ciering and RaDtOn extravagance.

tion in the late confederacy: MATTERS
must have been at a pretty pass when
quinine sold at $4,000 an ounce, and a
soldier paid negro 5000 for watching
his horse while he ate his dinner"
George Cary Egglestone says: 81 believe
the highest price. relatively, ever saw
paid was for a pair of boots. A cavalry
officer, entering little country store.
found there enc pair of boots which
fitted him. He inquired the price. Two
hundred dollars, said the merchant. A
$500 bill was offered. but the merchant
having no smaller bills,could not change
it. Never mind said the cavalier, 'I'Il
take the boots anyhow. Keep the change;
Inever let little matter of $500 stand
in the way of trade"

A Presbyterian FavOrite.

There Is time we know not when,
A point we know not where,
That marks the destiny of men
To glory or despair.
There is is line by us unseen,
That crosses every path;
The hidden boundary between
Gods patience and His wrath.
To pass that limit is to die,
To die as If by stealth;
1t does not Quench the beanihg eye,
Or pale the glow of health.
The conscience may be still at ease.
The spirits light and gay,
That which is pleasing still may please,
And care be thrust away.
But on that forehead God has set
Indslibly mark,
Unseen by man, for man as yet
Is blind and in the dark.
Oh, where is this mysterious bourn
By which our path is crossed;
Beyond which God himself hath sworn
That he who goes is lostp
How far may we go in sin?
How long will God forbearf
Where does hope end, and where begin
The confines of despair2
An answer from the skies is sent
Ye that from God depart,
While it is called o-day repent,
And harden not your heart.

say. the only dread and reverence of

of the creeping in of all mischisfs into

There Is nothing that weighs more

the slow progress he makes in overcom-

Whoever Is hypoerite in his religion

We learn wisdom from failure much
more than from success. We often dis
cover what will do by finding out what

SOME of the ablest as we'll as some of
the most pronounced advocates of tenn
peraDce reform are so firmly convinced
that it must come through the agency
of the Republican party that they are
unwilling to waste any effort in any
other direction. The attempt to build
up political party on the single issue
of prohibition is regarded as not only
hopeless and futile, but as calculated to
delay the accomplishment of the end
which Pro bibitionists have in view
When public sentiment is ripe for the
enactment and enforcement of prohibi-
tory laws they will come In response to
the popular demand, and all practicable
steps leading up to that consultation
may be taken in due time through the
instrumentality of the Republican party.

No AMERICAN who has ever visited
Europe has attracted more attention
than Buffalo Bill. Gen. Grant, when he
went there, did not occupy larger place
10 the minds of the British public, than
Buffalo Bill. Although Mr.. Cody has
not been in London over a month he is
today as we'll known to the masses of
that great city of 100000 as is the
Queen. One could not pick up in the
most obscure quarter of London any
one so ignorant as to know who and
what he is. His name Is on every wall.
His picture is in nearly every window.
He is as much Ia demand at all kinds
of high society gatherings as II he were
a visiting Prince. Indeed few visiting
Princes could have as many invitations
thrust upon them as he has had since
his arrival there. He is obliged to re-
fuse the majority of the invitations
which pursue him.
